I've gone through most of the old posts and visited gardenweb (that home site). I need IRL feedback. In our new home, the homeowner updated the kitchen to sell. She did everything the opposite of what we did when we updated our kitchen to sell. I prefer dark cabinets, she put in almost blond colored untreated maple etc. Since it's new (though by no means top of the line) it makes no sense to replace anything. One of the places she skimped was the appliances. She didn't replace the range or the refrigerator and got the cheapest dishwasher known to man. Our range just died and I cannot stand the refrigerator. It's an older, smaller refrigerator model and I can barely get more than a gallon of milk and Alex's juice containers in there. Luckily the contractor told her that new friges are larger and against what she initially wanted, insisted on making the frige space "large." Knowing this I assumed it would fit a 36" frige. I measured today - no go. I am so disappointed. We were going to get a SBS, but now I am worried about going with the 33" SBS. Now, I have never had a SBS and it looks awfully small inside to me. I know I don't want a french door type b/c the freezer looks really small/hard to organize to me. Does anyone here have a 33" SBS? How do you like it. Can you get 2 weeks worth of staples in it? We will hold onto the old frige and put it in the basement and we have a stand alone freezer down there, so in theory we have the storage, but I don't want to have to run down there all the time. Any recs? TIA
